activities & attractions
Lake County has four seasons of outdoor fun for everyone!
Each spring, anglers anxiously await world-class fishing on our rivers; Trails fill with ORV/ATV riders on our renowned trails systems; and thousands of motorcycles take over Baldwin for the annual Blessing of the Bikes the weekend after Mother’s Day.
Summer sun-lovers enjoy outdoor concerts, festivals, camping, canoeing, boating, and more.
Fall brings opportunities for hunters and beautiful fall colors for all to enjoy.
Winter means snowmobiling, winter hikes and a short drive to ski resorts and sled dogs race every January.
There is plenty of indoor fun too! – Go bowling, visit a museum, or shop unique ‘Up North offerings! Check out our events calendar and these Chamber members for year-round fun:
